Blind Assessment
Powered by the earthy, slightly musty, forest-floor notes of (I assume) Sulawesi or Sumatra coffees, with an added touch of acidy brightness and sweetness. The earthy notes hint pleasantly at chocolate. Marred by a slight metallic note as the cup cools.
Notes
Powered by the earthy, slightly musty, forest-floor notes of Sulawesi or Sumatra coffees, with an added touch of acidy brightness and sweetness. Founded in 1978 by specialty coffee pioneer Phyllis Jordan, PJ 's now roasts specialty coffees for a chain of PJ 's cafes throughout the South.
Who Should Drink It
Chocolate-eating gardeners? It goes against our cultural categories to associate the smell of fresh, moist earth with the taste of chocolate, but they most definitely converge, pleasingly, in exotic blends like this one.
